The revolutionists still remain in pos session of Bocas. Colon and Panama are the only towns on the isthmus now in the control of the government and troops are being poured into these two ports with the hope of stemming the revolutionary advance. The revolutionists are winning so much sympathy upon every hand that the government has decided to reorgan ize its forces. The Atrato carried 40 government field officers from Savailla to Colon, including General Guiveras, who has been selected, it is rumored, as the new governor of Panama The revolution in the isthmus now greatly hampers the fruit business there and it is impossible to predict when quiet will be restored.

TOiHTirgTrTTCTOrTSTUil I ' LueyTramiC cepted Great Britain's terms and they were prepared to sign terms of surren der. Mr. Broderick, the war secretary, personally communicated this message to King Edward, who was at Bucking bam palace. But the government de clined to take any chances and nothing concerning the receipt of this message was allowed to leak out. About 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon the war de partment received the message from Lord Kitchener, announcing the sign ing of the terms of peace, .. .. ' . The clerk on duty at the war office transmitted this message to Bucking ham palace, where King Edward was lunching. At about 5 o'clock word was received permitting the publication of this message, and the small notice which was stuck up outside the war office consisted of a copy of Lord Kitch ener's cablegram. A similar notice was put outside the colonial office. Beyond these two skimpy bits of paper, London knew nothing of the great event. In the clubs, the hotels and the newspaper offices, which were al most all deserted, the momentous news was ticked out on the tape. Then like wildfire, at about 6 o'clock, London awakened to the fact that the South African war was over. By 8 o'clock the news had become generally known. A few belated extra editions of newspapers were peddled about the streets, but before their appearance the enterprising hawkers, who for a long time past had kept union jacks, feath ers and horns stored up in anticipation of the present event, were much in evidence. Cabling "from Pretoria, the corre spondent of the Daily Mail, after an nouncing the signing of the terms of surrender, says the British authorities absolutely rejected the suggestion of the Boer delegates that the terms of surrender should be ratified by Mr. Kruger, and declared that the Boers in Europe had no hand in the settle ment. "The terms willTshow," continues the correspondent, "that the British government carried its contentions on every vital point, while the minor concessions, particularly those in re gard to the generous financial treat ment, will greatly appeal to the Boers in general. The value of Lord Kitch ener's personality as a factor in the conclusion of peace can never be over estimated. There is no doubt that peace will be popular among the Boers." Forest Fires in Arizona. Tuscon, Ariz., June 5. Forest fires continue unabated in the Huachuca mountains. Hundreds of thousands of feet of lumber have been destroyed in the last four days. A large force of men has left Tombstone to fight the flames back from the watershed of the Huachuca Watershed Company, which supplies the town of Tombstone with water. Two companies of soldiers have been sent to help fight the fire. Fight With the Yaquis. Nogales,Ariz., June 3. An out break of Yaqui Indians has occurred. A fight took place 30 miles from Her mosillo, in which eight Yaquis were killed and two Mexicans. The Yaquis retreated in a southeasterly direction tnd another fight is expected. The disaffected Indians number about 400, of whom 100 tre fighting men. These Yaquis have hitherto been peaceful. They are not hostile to Americans. arbilTwas today offereiintne"T!o7!seT The senate public lands committee today favorably reported a bill provid ing that in issuing permits for grazing on forest reserves no preference shall be given to the flocks or herds of one btate over those of another, nor shall authority be given to any person or persons not in the government sen ice, nor to any association or corporation to pass or grant any permit to graze sheep or other livestock on such re serves. This latter provision is to cut off dictation of local stock associations heretofore in evidence throughout the West. MORE JOIN RANKS. Number of Strikers in Anthracite Coal Fields Increased. Wilkebsarre, Pa., June 5. There were no developments or incidents of special mention in the anthracite coal miners' strike today. The minework ers tried hard to bring out additional engineers, firemen and pump runners, and the companies were equally earn est in their efforts to hold the employes that have been loyal to them. The union succeeded in getting out quite a number of men and one or two colleries were ' compelled to shut down their pumps because of a lack of men, but in all other cases the 'operators were able to fill vacancies by drawing on their re serve forces of office and other'employes. The mine owners declare . that thus far they have employed very few nonunion men, and have plenty of workers to draw on. The entire coal belt remains compar atively quiet, although disturbances of a minor nature are becoming more fre quent. Two hundred men from Nure burg marched into Oneida, where Coxe Bros. & Co. have a big collery. There was some promiscuous shooting, but no one was injured. A car carrying spe cial officers was sent from Drifton to the scene of the disturbance, but when the police reached there the crowd had dispersed. BAD TRAIN WRECK. Southern Pacific Passenger Train Derailed by Open Switch Two Killed. Redding, Cal., June 5. The south bound Oregon express, on the Southern Pacific road, which left Redding at 10 :45 o'clock last night, was wrecked about. 15 minutes later, near Clay creek, four miles from this city. The accident was caused by a half- open switch, which had evidently been left in that condition by some unknown person. The train is what is known as a double header, having two engines, and was running at a good rate of speed, as it was on a down grade. Both engines were thrown into the ditch and completely wrecked. Engineer J. M. White and Fireman Fred Laffel, of the forward engine, were tnrown under the engine and crushed to death, their bodies being fearfully mangled. A force is working to recov er their remains, which are still under the engine with which they went down to death. The mail car was thrown across the track. All the coaches were ditched. A number of the passenger s were more or less injured, but so far as can be learned, none were killed. Incendiary Fires at Pekin. Pekin, June 5. Fires occurred yes terday at the French barracks here and today at the quarters of the Austrian troops. Although the fires were large, the resulting damages were, small. lhe hres"are said, to nave been ot in cendiary origin. When the buildings burned there was much excitement and rejoicing among the crowds of Chinese who had congregated outside the lega tion qaurter to jnjoy the sight of the flames.

The day was observed at all tqe home military and naval head- barters with parades and salutes. be chief celebration was the ceremony trooping the colors, on the. Horse uards parade here, and the presenta on of colors to the new Irish guards. CURED OF LEPROSY. Case Is Successfully Treated at St Louis by the Quarantine Officer. St. Louis, May 31. Dong Gong, the hinese leper, who has for four months ast occupied an isolated house near Quarantine, has apparently recovered torn his malady and will be released rithin two months unless the disease eturns. A remarkable oil, the product f an East Indian tree, has been the pie treatment administered by Martin . Woodruff, superintendent of Quar ntine. Discoloration has disappeared rom the patient's face and limbs, and feeling has returned to the spots of esh which were insensible to the i icking of pins or the touch of hot rons. Unly on one of the patient's pgs and one wrist is the faintest red- ess visible. LABOR TROUBLE IN MANILA. General Strike of All Trades is Threatened Want Fifty Per Cent Increase. 'Manila, May 31. The labor troubles which have been brewing for a month are now on the eve of coming to a head. Three of the largest American employ ers of Filipino labor have been notified that they must advance salaries 50 per cent all around or face a strike. One firm three years ago paid employes $3 per week, and is now paying them $30 weekly. The firm says a further ad vance is impossible. It is the intention of Isabelo de Los Reys, the organizer of labor associations here, to secure an increase of wages in all trades or force a general strike. The merchants are alarmed at the outlook. They say Filipino labor costs more now, in pro portion to the results, than American labor. The wages are now from five to 10 times higher than under the Spanish regime. Cecil Rhodes' Fortune. New York, June 3. Cecil Rhodes' executors have decided that the pro bate of the will should be taken out in South Africa, cables the London cor respondent of the Tribune, and this will be done after the return of Dr. Jame son and Mr. Mitchell to the Cape. Nothing definite is known as to the extent of Mr. Rhodes fortune, but so far aa has been ascertained, it will amount to $25,000,000 or $30,000,000. His educational scheme has been gone into by the executors, but it will be some time before arrangements can be completed. Coal Famine in the East New York, May 30. Another ad vance of 50 cents a ton was made in the price of soft coal by the retail dealers throughout the city today making the price $5.60. An advance of $1.60 per ton in anthracite coal was announced. Many small towns in New Jersey are beginning to feel the scarcity of anth racite coal.

Y., the silk mill, the pipe factory and the shirt works shut down yesterday. Mitchell Says the Men Must Win. Indianapolis, May 31.

Portland, June 4. Reports received np to 2 o'clock this morning indicate the election of Chamberlain for gov ernor by about 750 rotes. Five coun ties are yet unreported, and it is esti mated that they will break about even. Returns from nearly all the counties are incomplete and it is possible that when the delayed precincts shall be received they will change the totals, but the probability is against a change that will overcome the present lead of Cham berlain.
